Birthday tomorrow

Well, tomorrow's the big day. My baby is going to be 4 years old. I got her party dress done and it is absolutely adorable, even if I do say so myself. I'll get pictures up after the party. I've still got quite a bit to do in the house so it will be up to company. My oldest son has been a super help in getting stuff done. He helps me do whatever I say needs doing and almost never complains. His brother has been very helpful in the babysitting capacity. My 10yo has been great about keeping his sister occupied and out from under foot while making sure she doesn't get in trouble. I must say I have some great kids. I'm kind of excited about the birthday cake too. I got a Bake n' Fill cake pan and am looking forward to trying it out. I'm going to try it tonight so if it's a big flop, I'll have plenty of time to make another one.
Crocheting-wise, I've been picking up after taking a few weeks off. As I promised, I got my mom's sweater panel done and I finally found my patterns so I can resume the Star Wars afghan. I also finally found a pineapple pattern that I like to use for my mother-in-law's tablecloth. It's actually a runner or doily, but it's made in panels. I think if I can just figure out how to make it twice as long, twice as wide and add 2 or 3 extra panels to that double width, that it will be the right size. I'll be starting my yarn shopping next month for yarn for Christmas gifts. I am very excited about it because, of course, I love shopping for yarn.
